Buying a used engine computer: what to check
- Ask for the donor vehicle's mileage. Lower-mileage parts carry more remaining life and resale value.
- Confirm the warranty. Many salvage yards offer 30–90 day guarantees; some sell extended coverage.
- Verify fitment against your VIN or the part number on your old unit, not just year and model.
- Ask whether shipping and any core charge are included in the quoted price.
